First, in your opinion, what would be a reasonable amount to give his girlfriend? Second, assuming you were the apprentice in the story, would you abandon your training or would you have given in to the pressure to split the money with your boss?

The reasonable amount that the person must give to his girlfriend is $10,000 + some damages (an amount that is less than $10,000). The girlfriend cannot demand around $40 million since her basis for such amount is without merit. Assuming that the person lost the entire amount, then the girlfriend is only entitled to $10,000 + damages. As a form of compromise, the person must at least pay some sort of damages on her part due to the theft that caused.
On the second issue, I would definitely abandon my training. My boss has no authority or whatsoever on the proceeds that I won personally on the gambling website. He is using his authority to abuse his power and demand some sort of funds on his part.
. At least anything they have would be a conjugal property. Giving all the money to the girl without marrying her first is just nuts since there is a possibility that the girl would leave him after surrendering all the money to her.
